COURSE DESCRIPTION

We plan to give a self-contained course in analysis, covering chapters 7-on of the book. The goal of the course, aside from analysis, is to learn what is a mathematical proof, and how to present it. For more details, see here .

PREREQUISITES

MATH 4317.

HOMEWORK

Homework will be due on Tuesdays, collected in the beginning of the class, and returned back to you the following Tuesday. I will not be assuming that you know how to think, write and present a mathematical proof, but achieving this by the end of the semester, will be an important gain for the class. You are welcomed to work together, but please write down your homework separately . Please staple your homework, and write clearly, each problem on a new page. The two lowest homework grades will be dropped. Any missed homework will be counted as zero.

MIDTERM-EXAMS

There are two in-class midterm exams on Thursday February 22 and March 29. I do not accept make-up exams unless there is a serious documented reason.

FINAL EXAM

Conflict in final exams means having 3 final exams in the same day. In that case, you can reschedule the one in the middle. In case of a final exam conflict, I need a two week advance notice to accomodate your request.

ATTENDANCE

Although attendance is not mandatory, you are strongly encouraged to attend. Students who do not attend the lectures statistically do below average--and usually end up with a C or lower grade. Attendance is an important part of learning. During the lectures, you should turn all powered devices (especially phones, laptops, music players) off.

GRADES

The final course grade will be calculated according to the following scheme: If the average course grade (out of 100) is
